Their First Line 

The foregoing extract from the Naval Affairs Committee report is 
highly illuminating, but that does not take into account the assistance 
that might and undoubtedly would be given to Hitler and his cohorts by, 
the enemy within the gates. as was the case in Norway, Belgium and other’ 
victims of the Nazi machine. There is plenty of evidence that the’ United 
States is riddled with Nazi agents who are working their propaganda ma- 
chine. overtime and only await the time and opportunity to indulge in sabo- 
tage and other overt acts. 

That the people of the United States have become alarmed atthe 
situation and are fully aware of the potential dangers that threaten them 
is evidenced in many ways, including the fact that Congress, which was 
prepared to vote two billion dollars to stréngthen the defences of the coun- 
try in the middle of May boosted the appropriation by the middle of July 
to ten billion dollars and did so, with alacrity and eagerness 

This substantial sum provides, among other things for a 
navy, but, it is pointed out, it will require the lapse of about six years be- 
for this: adequate navy can be built and completed. In the meantime, 
the United States is relying upon and will continue to rely upon the ser- 
vices of the British navy to protect its ocean-borne ‘commerce. 


The conclusion is obvious--and that is that the United States first line 
of defence is in Buropean waters where the British navy is holding the fort 


and until such time as the new American naval program is completed it 
would appear to be a vital necessity for the people of the United States 
to assist the British in every possible way and with every means at their) 
disposal. |

Mechanical Bird Dog 
Pointer Used By British Helps Locate 
German Air Raiders 
The defenders of Britain are using 
a sort of ‘mechanical bird dog” to, 

hunt down German night raiders. 

The British censor permitted dis-| 
closure for the first time that “point- | 
ing” is done not only by searchlights 
but by an ingenious range-and-course , 
predictor sometimes called a “saus-— 
age machine,” and by other equip- 
ment of @ nature kept closely secret

Newfoundland Once Again Thinks 
Of Joining Canada 

The question of confederation with 
(Canada has cropped up again in New- 
foundiand as the result of the unifica- 
tion of her defence with Canada's 
and the current visit of Canadian de- 
fence officers. 

Newfoundlanders do not mistake 
the present move as a political con- 
federation, but such opinion as a 
Canadian Press correspondent could 
test on the brief visit with the Cana- 
| dian officials shows that the ques- 
| tion has arisen in the minds of the 
| people. ; 

The correspondent was told the 
|.only objection in Newfoundland now 
| to confederation would be on eco- 
|nomic grounds. Certain business 
| people in St. John's feel that union 
| with Canada would place Newfound- 
‘land's resources—mainly fish, pulp- 
! wood and iron ore—on a much more 
direct competitive basis with those 
lof the Maritime Provinces. There 
| is also the feeling that taxes might 
be increased. 

A rustless, non-corrosive electric 
conduit has been perfected from wood 


| pulp.

and the world revolution is Britain's navy. As a matter of cold, calculat- | 
‘ing self-preservation we must keep that navy fighting on our side by. pro-| 
viding Britain with every needed ship, gun, plane, implement of war, 
pound of food and shred of hope that we can give.” . 

Even as the vital necessity for building powerful defences has sud- 
denly dominated the American conscience so the doctrine that -Europe is the 
first line of defence is rapidly gaining ground south of the international 
boundary. Only recently the political leaders of the United States and 
Canada agreed to set up a joint defence board and to co-operate in the 
defence of this hemisphere. It is but one step further for the United States 
to give a greater measure of aid to Britain's war effort and particularly 
that effort on the seas. 

It is gratifying to note that an important step in that direction has 
recently been taken in the form of an agreement to furnish Great Britain 
with 50 of 160 over-age destroyers in the possession of the United States 
in exchange for leasehold rights of British territory in the West Indies and 
the Central American coasts as sites for United States naval and air force 
bases. °

Britain Will Not Relax 
Blockade Of Europe To | 
: Permit Passage Of Food 


The British are willing to do every- 
thing in their power to relieve Euro- 
pean food shortages—after the war. 

But until Adolf Hitler is defeated, 


they say, the British will not relax 


their blockade of the continent to 
permit passage of food ships whose 
cargoes might, directly or indirectly, 
aid Germany in the prosecution of 
the war. 

The British contend that any 
shortages in France, Belgium, Nor- 
way, Poland and other German-occu- 
pied areas are Hitler's fault and his 
problem. They say they will not per- 
mit passage through the blockade of 
foodstuffs which might be diverted to 
the German army or which might 


reli¢éve Hitler's responsibility for 
feeding the peoples he has _ sub- 
jugated. 


But after the war, things would 
_be different, and certain British gov- 
ernment. quarters have for some time 
been laying plans under, which the 
British Empire, in full collaboration 
with the Americas, would provide 
large scale food relief for the conti- 
nent as soon as the German armies 


have been withdrawn to their own 
frontiers. 
Such plans, of course, are pre- 


flicated upon a British victory and 
their consideration at this time is 
built upon the assumption that Bri- 
tain, herself, will not be starved out 
before the hostilities have ended. 

No one can predict the course of 
the war, but the British appear con- 
fident that their food position is 
strong and that, with their navy, 
they can outlast Germany. . 

Food relief after the war would 


accomplish two desirable ends, pro- | 


ponents of the scheme now under 
consideration say. It would alleviate 
distress among hungry Buropeans 
and absorb food surpluses among 
American and British colonial pro- 
ducers. The producers will suffer 
also because of their lack. of Euro- 
pean markets during the blockade. 

Meanwhile, although officia] state- 
ments have not been forthcoming, the 
British have made it plain that they 
do not look with favor upon various 
continental food relief schemes pro- 
posed in the United States. 

The London Times, discussing re- 
lief plans proposed by former United 
States President Herbert Hoover, 
charged that relief appeals from the 
continent were inspired by German 
propaganda and urged the govern- 


ment to make a definite statement) 
of policy concerning post-war relief. peaith, particularly during times of ronto Star Weekly. 


“Our answer must be the double 
one that it is Hitler who is starving 
Burope and that it is Britain, and 


those who sympathize with her cause,!. joaf, fortified with more vitamin gekepo Of New Zealand Link Be- 


who ‘are making active preparations 
to feed Europe as soon as the pres- 
ent tyranny is overthrown,” 
Times said. 

Biologist Julian Huxley in a letter 
to The Times endorsed the: sugges- 
tion that the British Empire and the 
Americas collaborate in rushing food 
to Burope ‘‘as soon as Nazi domina- 
tion comes to an end.”

Milions of farmers and other work- 
ers in the countries of North and 
South America would suffer severely, | 
it was thought, ‘because the normal | 
European markets for their products 
have been shut off by the British 
blockade. 

History reveals that human suffer- 
ing always ends in strenuous protests 
and in discontent; and so it was feared 
that this discontent would finally re- 
sult in pressure being brought to bear |, 
upon Great Britain to ease her block- 
ade against Nazi-controlled Europe, 
and perhaps even to conclude a com- 
promise ‘peace with Hitler.

When your car hits the up grade, do you throttle 
down? Not if you want to make the grade. You 
step on the throttle and coax and push until you 
are over the crest. 

Today, selling is on the up grade and in sandy 
going. If you cut down your sales effort, what 
chance have you to maintain your sales. 

-Now is the time to increase your advertising 
when lessened competition for the readers’ atten- 
tion gives even greater prominence to your adver- 
tising. Wise advertisers who know what advertis- 
ing is and can do, are now increasing their 
advertising to take advantage of the opportunity. 
Experience has shown them that advertising is not 
only the mogt efficient method of sales promotion 
but the greatest insurance against future competi- 
tion. 

If you want to creat demand for your goods 
there is NO surer way, NO quicker way than

Beavers And War 
Trappers In North Make Contribu- -

Canadian beavers are paying for 
the war, not gladly but due to one of 
those unfortunate accidents which 
sometimes happen in the best regu-

Armored Monsters 


Seventy Ton Juggernauts To 

Be Built By U.S. 

The U.S. army has begun a build- 
‘ing program which contemplates a 
fleet of from 400 to 500 powerful 
“land battleships’’ — heavily armed, 
high speed tanks weighing from 60 
to 70 tons, it was disclose).

contract to the Baldwin Locomotive 
Works, Philadelphia, for “heavy 
tanks.” 

War department officials refused 
to discuss the matter, but authorita- 
tive sources described the projected 
tanks as 60 to 70-ton juggernauts, 
capable of speeds up to 50 miles an 
hour and equipped with heavy guns 
and latest-type automatic weapons. 

Construction of the huge tank is 
a departure in army planning. Adolf. 
Hitler's swift conquest of the Low- 
land countries and France prompted 
the change, it was understood. 

The army has been using ‘‘light” 
and “medium” tanks, weighing ap- 
proximately 12 and 18 tons, respec- 
“ively, and is estimated to have 2,800 
of these on hand or on order. It 
was said that the projected program 
envisages doubling this total.

“For which of us?” smiled Jim, | 
leaning his elbow on the window | 
opening and looking into the face of 
the man, . 

“For both, I hope. Come inside, 
and [fil drive you anywhere you're 
going. I have an invitation to offer 
and: a suggestion to make.” 

Jim opened the door and stepped 
in. Harlow was a skilful driver. ‘He 
Slipped in and out of the traffic into 
Bedford Square, and then: 

“Do you mind if I drive you to my 
house? Perhaps you can spare the 
time?” 

Jim nodded, wondering what was 
the proposition. But throughout the 
‘drive Mr. Harlow kept up a flow of 
unimportant small talk, and he said 
nothing important until he showed 
his visitor into the beauiiful Itbrary. 
Mr. Harlow threw his heavy coat 
and cap onto one of the red settees, 
twisted a chair round, so that it re-! 
volved like a teetotum, and set it 
down near his visitor. | 

“Somebody followed you here, 
said. “I saw him out of the tail of | 
my eye. A Scotland Yard man! My | 
dear man, you are very precious to}; 
the law.” He chuckled at this. “But | 
I bear you no malice that you do not) 
trust me. My theory is that it is| 
much better for a dozen innocent | 
men to come under police surveil-

and your immediate superior that I)

And Jim. had an uncomfortable | 
feeling that this was no vain boast.

went on; “it annoys me a little, but

, He waited for some comment here, 
but Jim was content to let his host 
do most of the talking. A footman 
came in at that moment, pushing a 
litle basket trolley, and, to Jim’s sur- 
prise, it contained a silver tea ser- 
vice, in addition to a bottle of 
whisky, siphon and glasses. 

“I never drink,” explained Harlow. 
“When I say ‘never,’ it would be bet- 
ter if I said ‘rarely.’ Tea drinking 
is a pernicious habit which I acquired 
in my early youth.” He lifted the 
bottle. “For you-——?” 

“Tea also,” said Jim, and Mr. | 
Harlow inclined his head. | 


“I thocght that was possible,” he) 


| said, and when the servant had gone | 


he carried his tea back to the writing | 
table and sat down. | 

“You're a very clever young man," | 
he said abruptly, and Jim showed | 
his teeth in a skeptical smile, ‘‘1|

He rose to his feet the better to

“And my duties?” he said quietly.

swirled back as he put his hands 
deep into his trousers pockets. 

“To watch my interests.” He al-

“No,” said Jim simply; “I'm not

“You're not?” Harlow made a lit-| 
tle grimace. “What a pity! There| 
might be a million in it for you. I| 
am not trying to induce you to do 
something against your principles, 
but it is a pity.” 

It seemed to Jim's sensitive ear 
that there was genuine regret in Har- 
low's tone, but he went on quickly: 

“I appreciate your standpoint. You 


have no desire to enter my service. 4a, were efficacious in the days of | 


You are, let us say, antipathetic to-|

“I prefer my own work,” said Jim. | 
Harlow's smile was broad and! 
benevolent. | 
“There remains only one sugges-| 
tion: I want you to come to the) 
dinner and reception I am giving to 
the . Macedonian delegates next | 
Thursday. Regard that as an olive) 
branch!” | 

Jim smiled. 

“I will gladly accept your invita- 
tion, Mr. Harlow,” he said, and then, 
with scarcely a pause: ‘Where can 
I find Marling?” 

The words were hardly out of his 


| lips before he cursed himself for his 


folly. He had not the slightest in- 
tention of asking such a fool ques- 
tion, and he could have kicked him-| 
self for the stupid impulse which, | 
one fraction of a second, had thrown 
out of gear the delicate machinery 
of investigation. 

Not a muscle of Stratford Harlow’s 
face moved. 

“Marling?” he repeated. His black 
brows met in a frown; the pale eyes 
surveyed the detective blankly. “Mar- 
ling?” he said again. “ 
have I heard that name? You don’t 
mean the fellow who was my tutor?

“The Argentine?” suggested Jim. 


“Was it the Argentine? I'm not

The underlip came thrusting out. 
Harlow was passing to the aggres- 
sive. 


“The truth is, Marling and I were 
not very good friends. He treated 
me rather as though I were a child, 
and I cannot think of him without 
resentment. Marling! How that

Jim Carlton was not in a position 
to supply an answer. 

His foot was on the doorstep when 
Harlow called him back. 

“I owe you an apology,” he said. 
_Jim supposed that he was talking 
about the offer he had made, but 
this was not the case. 

“It was a crude and degrading

Carlton was listening in bewilder-

“I don't quite follow you.”

smile and for a moment his pale eyes 
lit up with glee. 

“This was not a case of you fol- 
lowing me—but of my following you. 
A crude business. I am _ heartily 
ashamed of myself!” 

Jim was halfway to Scotland Yard 
before the solution of this mysteri- 
ous apology occurred to him. Strat- 
ford Harlow was expressing his re- 
gret for the atatck that had been 
delivered by his agents in Long 
Acre. 

Jim stopped to scratch his head. 

“That man worries me!" he ‘said 
aloud. ,
